Having read your development work on your synchronous detector receiver project, you could never be accused of that penultimate statement, Lawrence!
Yes, when I started I was a total ignoramus too. But by dismantling sets, (usually donated by neighbours or picked up from the local rubbish-dump), reading as many books on theory as I could get from the local library, and generally 'prodding around', and getting some working, I learnt the basics. But those were the days when radios were made of 'lumps' you could see without a magnifying glass! With something like a modern Icom all-band, all-singing, computer-controlled Amateur Band transceiver, full of tiny bits and all thrown together, I'd be completely lost!
